On precipitation and destination

“The body, by the place which at each moment it occupies in the universe, indicates the parts and the aspects of matter on which we can lay hold: our perception, which exactly measures our virtual action on things, thus limits itself to the objects which actually influence our organs and prepare our movements.”Taking an early morning hike, Sam Renseiw reflects on the frailty of framing observance and the obstacles in casting an adequate vote while the rain is pouringdown.

"under tree in rain" is indeed a fine soundtrack! thanks for the link to freesound robert. ( aka "acclivity" there ? )

i pondered for a moment to find a more "rainy" soundtrack, but then decided to use the one on the footage. it makes a strange, ongoing rumbling noise, because of the raindrops drumming on the umbrella. with the added TNE soundtrack, a sort of filmic progression "appeared", adding another "reading" of the footage. some sort of subdued drama, evolves then, in the simple morning walk.

sound in itself is a space...will try to be more aware of its inclusions and overlaps... to ad more virtual spaces to the seen.

About Me

'Pataphysics, an absurdist concept coined by the French writer Alfred Jarry, is a philosophy dedicated to studying what lies beyond the realm of metaphysics. Defined as: "The science of imaginary solutions, which symbolically attributes the properties of objects, described by their virtuality, to their lineaments". SPACETWO : PATALAB has functioned in this spirit since 2005 as a dynamic, experimental visual / spatial research laboratory run by SAM RENSEIW. Laced with quotes and useful links, Patalab02 is a forum for subtle, intriguing, complex, enchantingly moving imagery experiments exploring body-space morphologies and other architectures. Enjoy!
